I just finished getting this tattoo from Sonny at Lost Dreams. The staff is very welcoming when…read moretheir customers walk in and the shop is extremely clean. Pricing is set at the beginning, so the customer knows what to expect. Tattoos are cash only. Sonny is a true artist. Bottom line, the man is talented. I came to him with ideas in my head and he put them on paper, then on my skin. The tattoo took about 3.5 hours to complete - throughout the process, there was a nice mix of silence and conversation. I don't talk much and the silence allowed Sonny to concentrate, but the conversation also helped the time to go by. All in all, I cannot be happier with the entire experience and Sonny's artistry. I highly recommend Lost Dreams and Sonny as your tattoo artist.

Some places fornt desk people suck so its nice when you walk in and have someone pleasant greet you. Angel was the piercer. She was very chill and straight to the point.

Make sure you tip your piercer dont be a cheap a**

Never get your piercings here is an understatement. In November, I got three piercings: belly/navel…read morepiercing, "helix," and conch. Costing me around $100 (without tip). Cheryl pierced my belly button without informing me know that I didn't have the ring anatomy to support a belly button piercing. I thought I was healing fine until the around May/June. I started noticing more crust build up even with regularly cleaning. I also didn't wear clothing that fit the belly area super tight. I had gone to a different and apparently more well informed piercing shop (not Emerald) and they broke the news to me. I went in under the impression that my piercing needed to be downsized because the swelling had gone down but instead I was told that my body was rejecting the jewelry because I didn't have the right anatomy for it. Then my jewelry was inspected by the shop and there were signs that the jewelry was poor quality, inadequate for body jewelry. Now I have scarring on my belly, money loss, and eight months wasted. When I was getting pierced Cheryl was training a new piercer. She should not be training and should get her license reevaluated. The reason helix is in quotations is because my helix piercing was also pierced at a bad location, it was closer to a flat piercing than a helix. Both my helix and conch piercing were removed because it was infected due to jewelry quality. Spark Notes: Please please please go to a better shop to get your piercings, jewelry is about one of the most important part of a PIERCING and even that was cheap, poor, and inadequate. Do NOT come here because its cheaper, that lead to potentially permanent scarring on my belly. - CHEAP JEWELRY - POORLY TRAINED STAFF (DIDN'T INFORM ME THAT MY I DIDN'T HAVE THE RIGHT ANATOMY FOR A PIERCING AND JUST PIERCED IT ANYWAYS, MY PIERCING WAS FLOATING) Avoid this place at all costs or end up like me and have scars everywhere. Getting my money back wouldn't even begin to make me feel better about this. This is such a big hit for me because I frequently wear clothing that shows my belly (hence why I got the piercing). Now I have a big ugly scar. THANKS.

3/24/25 at about 5pm (so they can remember me) me and my family came in for a nose and ear…read morepiercings. We were told there was no person there to pierce and i should of left after that was said but a young guy walked up and said he could. Went through the paper work process and something told me to ask his age and experience. To my surprise he was 17 years old with 1 year experience. Now yes as a full adult with kids I had my own reservations about allowing this kid yo pierce me but i was like its a needle how bad could this be. Had it been a stomach or other parts that needed more care I would of said no. This is in my opinion. Once set we went to the back and he had his table set up. I looked over at his table and felt like he was missing something. I asked him about the "tongs" (i don't know the proper term they use) but he said he doesn't use it as it gets in the way. He prefers to just stick the needle in and pull it out. After finding the spot i wanted, he told me to tell him to start. Needle went through no problem however after about a minute of him playing with my nose he figured he wasn't going to be able yo detach the needle from the earring. MY LUCK! Side eye. He proceeds to pull and twist my nose to get this needle again and still no success. He then asks can he pull everything out and just place the earring in. Unfortunately i say yes. He pushes the earring and guess what HE CANT PUSH IT THROUGH! I am sitting here trying to save face due yo my son being scared of getting his ears pierced. This is going horribly wrong and I blame myself. They also price all over the place! I was told $30 from someone on instagram and he said $50 in person. We ask for a manager they said no one was present. I told him i would leave a review and he should definitely go back to school for this. If u need any piercing please continue to JUST A POKE around a couple of corners. The place is soley focused on it.

Amazing work. I have done three 6 hr. sessions with Tony, and I continue to be amazed at his work…read more The detailing and attention he shows to the tattoo are perfect. I have several tattoos from Tony and am super proud and love all of them. He is detail oriented, knowledgeable, friendly, artistic, thinks outside the box, and really knows so much about how things will and should be. He is not heavy-handed and is a fairly quick artist. He is not afraid to go stencil-less and outline it on his own, which is pretty awesome. I have already booked my next one and will have plenty more sessions in the near future. I 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a great tattooist who knows so much and is very dedicated to it.
